It’s amazing how we always think that we are so strong and capable yet in reality we weak creatures. We usually take good health for granted and don’t realize this pleasure until we fall sick. We are usually hyper active and enjoying life forgetting many around us who don’t have that luxury due to a long lasting illness or a simple flu virus. A couple of days ago I started having a bad headache and neck pain and I took some panadol which relived me for a couple of hours. This morning I went to work and I was ok till midday when I started feeling horrible again and had to excuse myself from work (not like me at all). I rested and relaxed a little (only 3 hours of sleep:) ) and now Alhamdulillah I am feeling better. As they say health is a crown carried by healthy people but only those who are ill can see it.
The lesson here is that we better be grateful for our wellbeing and remember the unfortunate people around us. It’s a lesson we always remember once we fall sick but unfortunately once we recover we forget all about it. As Allah the almighty tells us in the holy Quran that we are created weak. Certainly without Allah’s mercy we will not survive in this world nor win paradise in the hereafter.
O Allah forgive us and reward us with your mercy and not with our deeds. May Allah help all those who are not well recover and get better.
